Activities:
•
The Dot Game, which needs to be set up before the kids arrive. Buy a pack of circle stickers. I use the primary colors pack, which is
red, green, blue and yellow. Number them 1 to 100, using all the colors. You may use a pattern if you wish. Place these stickers
around the room. Put them on desks, plants, windowsills, charts, erasers, trash cans, anywhere! When the kids come in, hand them a
100's chart. Have them find a sticker and color the corresponding square the same color. They can work alone or in teams. They keep
working until you tell them to stop. Warning - this activity lasts a LONG time, but they LOVE it. I always fill out my on 'answer
sheet' before I put the dots up. It's a good guide just to see of the kid's are making the match, I don't check every one. I leave the dots
up for a few days, some kids like to do it again. When the excitement dies it becomes a bus time activity, who can bring me the
number 33? Who can find a number that ends in 2, etc. . .
•
Play a dice game in small groups. Each child has a 100 grid and one or two dice. As them to write an estimate at the bottom of the
chart of how many throws of the dice it will take to get to 100. Then ask them to roll the die (or dice) and place an X on the number
rolled. Continue, counting on to find the new number and marking with an X.
•
As the children to estimate how many cups of popped popcorn 100 kernels would make. Then pop the kernels and measure it. Of
course then you must continue and make popcorn for all to eat. (This is my favorite, not to be skipped activity each year.)
•
Start at a designated point and have different groups make a straight line using 100 of various materials you have in the classroom. (I
use unifix cubes, pattern blocks, popsicle sticks, wooden blocks, plastic markers from our tap-a-tan game. etc.
•
As the children to close their eyes and estimate when 100 seconds have passed. Open eyes or raise hands when they think the time has
elapsed.
•
Using a timer, measure a hundred minutes. Set the timer for 25 minute increments.
•
Discuss the length of a day (24 hours). Ask them to estimate approximately how many days a hundred hours would make. You can
make a model of this by using unifix cubes of different colors.
•
Assign a value to each letter of the alphabet (A = 1, B = 2 etc.) Ask children to find the value of their first name. Does anyone's =
100? This could be graphed.
•
Have kids write story "If I had $100. . .
•
Make necklaces with 100 Cheerios, colored macaroni, etc.
•
Sorry I can't lend you my 95 year old friend who often comes to my class and talks to my kids about how things were , well, not 100
years ago, but close.
•
A second activity, if I remember correctly, was to have a sheet with a picture of a dollar bill as big as the paper. Again, we had 10
rows, 10 boxes each on the "dollar". Each child used a money stamp and stamped 100 "pennies" onto the dollar.
•
Another possibility - - - predict how far we can go walking by walking 100 steps. Can we get to the library, cafeteria, etc.
•
My first graders last year had a great time seeing what they could make with 100 small LEGOs and then we took pictures of their
creations.
